horse and infantry into the county of Hampshire to repel the
French and Indians. In 1710 he was in command of the troops
at Port Royal in 1711 in the expedition against Canada.
Colonel Whiting was sheriff of Hartford County in 1722.

After graduation, for a while he taught the grammar school
* Report of Record Commissioners, Boston, Births, 1700-1800, p. 7. t New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol. XVI, p. 13. at Hadley. On the 12th of September, 1687, he was called to the pastorate of the church at Branford, Connecticut, and there he served for the remainder of his life. "He became the second father of the town. His ministry, peaceful and prosperous, was prolonged forty-four years, though he was disabled from preaching during the last six years of his life."
"Tradition makes it probable that the proposed meeting [for considering the establishing of Yale College] took place in the south parlor of the house of the Rev. Samuel Russel, and that the few then assembled, by engaging to give books from their scanty libraries as a nucleus of College property, constituted themselves the founders of the institution, and in this capacity presented their petition for a charter to the General Assembly the next week"* [second week of October, 1701]. He was one of the most active supporters of the project and became one of the trustees of the new college.
In May, 1699, he preached the election sermon and received the thanks of the General Assembly.
Rev. Samuel Russell married Abigail Whiting, born 1666, daughter of the Rev. John and Sybil (Collins) Whiting of Hartford, Connecticut.
He died June 25, 1731. His widow Abigail, died May 7, 1733.

Hon. Wm. Whiting, the American ancestor of the Connecticut branch of the Whiting family, came to New England in 1633, and resided for three years in Newtown (now Cambridge), removing thence with Rev.

He was referred to in the town records as "William Whiting, Gentleman."

================================THIRD GENERATION
Samuel Whiting and Elizabeth Adam

Samuel3 (John2 William1) the youngest child of John and Sybil Whiting was born on 22 Apr 1670 in Hartford, CT. He received his early education from his father and afterwards moved to Norwich, CT where he finished his education for the ministry under the direction of Reverend James Fitch. Soon after this apprenticeship he followed his father's footsteps and went into the ministry. It should be noted here that while researching our heritage, we've come across many occasions where records and articles have confused the two Reverend Samuel Whitings. Our Reverend Samuel Whiting resided in Windham Connecticut and Reverend Samuel Whiting who married Elizabeth St. John resided in Lynn Massachusetts.

Shortly after his apprenticeship, sometime around 1692, our Samuel was called upon to be the first minister at Windham. "As an inducement he was promised œ50 annually, and a dwelling to be eighteen feet square and two stories high! After he was ordained at Windham December 4, 1700, his salary increased to œ100 with a supply of fuel." In a record kept by himself Samuel wrote, "I preached my first sermon at Windham, from the first verse of Genesis, on the first day of January, 1692-3. I was ordained at Windham, on the 4th day of December, 1700." (Autobiography of W.S. Tyler)

The life and ministry of Samuel Whiting is described in a book published by the town of Windham in celebration of its bicentennial. The book describes Windham's first century during which the Whitings were a distinguished family, describing our Samuel as "a man of uncommon fervor in the pulpit, who mingled greatly with the people in their everyday transactions and who had large interests in real estate."

Down through generations of Whitings and their Allied families there have been many notable individuals and historical connections. When our Samuel married Elizabeth Adams our Whiting heritage was forever bonded with the descendents of the "Mayflower". Elizabeth was born on 23 Feb 1680 in Norfolk, Mass and was the daughter of Reverend William Adams, of Dedham, Massachusetts. Her mother, Alice Bradford, was the daughter of Deputy Governor William Bradford, and the granddaughter of Governor Bradford of the Mayflower. Samuel and Elizabeth were married in Norwich, on Sept. 14, 1696 and a passage taken from their marriage ceremony gave the following quote: "This marriage gives beautiful ascent. It starts with the 'Mayflower' through the Bradfords and takes in the great men of the Adams family, and coming down reaches descendants who give far more to life than they demand." (New England Families Genealogical Memorials).

As a clergyman, Samuel's growing reputation and sincere dedication to the community helped spawn one of three early religious revivals in colonial Connecticut. "In 1721 there occurred a remarkably precious and powerful revival in Windham, under the ministry of the Rev. Samuel Whiting, in which eighty persons were added to the church in that town." (Congregational Church of Windham) Also in the same year, (1721) while Samuel & Elizabeth were residing in Windham, they visited family or friends in Stonnington, Connecticut where his name appears in the records of their church. The following excerpts were taken from those records: Baptised: June 23, 1721 Mr. Samuel Whiting, Pastor of ye Church of Christ at Windham Preacht. A Lecture, and baptized Daniel, son of Daniel Denison; Oliver, son of James Babcock; and Benadam, son of William Denison. (History of the 1st Congregational Church Stoningtin, Connecticut).

Samuel and Elizabeth, much like their parents and grandparents, held considerable amount of real estate. In one transaction we've researched, a Thomas Huntington, granted a huge parcel of "wilderness land in the county of Hartford" to Samuel and Elizabeth, a holding he kept until his death. During their 29-year marriage, Samuel and Elizabeth had 14 children. Six of those children, Samuel, Joseph, Lidea, Martha, Mary and Eliphalet died at an early age. Samuel was 18 when he died at sea, and Joseph died in Windham in 1721 at the age of 17. Lidea, a twin to Sybil, died one day after she was born on May 05, 1708. Martha was only 9 when she died. (Her headstone can be found in the Windham Cemetery) Mary Whiting married Thomas Clap and we believe she died of childbirth complications. Mary died at age 24, less than 2 weeks after giving birth to her son Saltonstall. Eliphalet Whiting died in Windham, CT just a few months after his 21st birthday.

Sixteen months after their last child, Nathan Whiting, was born Samuel Whiting died at Enfield, while visiting his cousin Reverend Nathaniel Collins, on September 27, 1725. (Mr. Collins was also his brother-in-law, having married Alice Adams the sister of his wife.) Family records state Samuel was buried in Hartford, but his actual grave site is located in the Enfield Street Cemetery, Enfield Connecticut. Samuel was 55 years old when he died. Samuel's headstone inscription at Enfield Street Cemetery reads: Samuel, Rev, minister of Church of Windham, d 27 Sep 1725, ae 55 yrs.

Twelve years after Samuel died, the 56 year old Elizabeth married Reverend Samuel Niles of Braintree, Mass., in December 2, 1737. After Reverend Niles died, (May 1, 1762), she moved to New Haven where she lived with her youngest son, Col. Nathan Whiting, and died on December 21, 1766, two months before her 86th birthday.
Children of SAMUEL WHITING and ELIZABETH ADAMS

ANNE WHITING was born 2 Jan 1697/98 in Windham, CT., and died 18 Sep 1778 in Lebanon, CT. She married JOSEPH FITCH on 29 Dec 1721 in Lebanon, CT. During their 20-year marriage Anne and Joseph had six children all born in Lebanon. We have found no records indicating Anne, who was 43 years old at the time of Joseph's death, never remarried. Anne (Whiting) Fitch, died in Lebanon at 80 years of age in 1778.

SAMUEL WHITING was born on 20 Feb 1699/00 in Windham, CT., and died at age 18 in 1718 when he was lost at sea.

Elizabeth died two and half years after their youngest child was born at the young age of 28, and is probably buried in New London. During their 5-year marriage Elizabeth and William had two children born in New London.

WILLIAM WHITING was born on 22 Jan 1703/04 in Windham, CT and died 1787 probably in Norwich, CT. He married ANNA RAYMOND on 5 Mar 1723/24 in Norwich, CT.

Nathaniel Parsons, son of Philip and Anna Parsons, was born at Enfield, March 11, 1709-10. He or a son of the same name fought as a soldier in the French and Indian War in 1758 in Lieutenant David Parson's company, under General Phinehas Lyman, Third Company, First Regiment. He bought land on the Scantic River, January 26, 1728-29; and various other property at Enfield. Another Nathaniel Parsons appears to have lived at Enfield at the same time. He moved to Somers, Connecticut, and his wife Mary died there in her eighty-second year. They had a son, Stephen, born February 20, 1730-31. Nathaniel Parsons, son of Philip Parsons, married Alice Collins, January 29, 1735-36.

Alice (Collins) Parsons was born March 14, 1716, the daughter of the Rev. Nathaniel Collins, minister of the Enfield Church, who was graduated from Harvard College in 1697; married, in 1701, Alice Adams. She was the daughter of the Rev. William Adams, of Dedham, Massachusetts; and died February 19, 1755. The Rev. Nathaniel Collins was born June 13, 1681, died February 6, 1758. He was the son of the Rev. Nathaniel Collins who was born at Cambridge, Massachusetts, March 7, 1642, and died at Middletown, Connecticut, December 28, 1684; was graduated at Harvard College in 1660; and was ordained minister at Middletown, Connecticut, November 4, 1666.

Rev. Nathaniel Collins was the son of Edward and his wife Mary England

On the ship, The Defence, the Rev. Shepherd with several parishioners, including John Russell and Roger Harlakendon, set sail for New England in 1635. Accompanying them in this settlement was Mr. Edward Collins.

Edward Collins went on to establish himself in nearby Medford, where he acquired Gov. Craddock's massive estate, and later sold 1600 acres of his plantation to Richard Russell. The first preserved documentation from England that Daniel Markham, born in June 1641, in Earls Colne, was the same as the Cambridge, MA. Resident is provided by the will of a Daniel Collins, written in 1639 and probated in 1643. In it, he leaves fifty pounds British currency to "the wife of Cousin Markham." In the same will, he mentions his brother, Samuel, Vicar of Braintree, and Edward Collins, "now in New England," and names several children of Edward Collins.

He also mentioned his mother was buried at Braintree. The town of Braintree is in Essex, next to Earls Colne. Daniel Collins referred to "the lease of the Dolphin." There is property named, "The Dolphin, in Halstead, which also borders Earls Colne. This same property is mentioned in the records of Earls Coln in association with other plots of ground, which have been identified with James Markham, which also was held by a John Collins prior to James Markham.

In 1670, Daniel Markham, then also of Medford, MA, was deposed to testify on behalf of Edward Collins, plaintiff, involving an alleged theft of a mare and colt by a neighbor. During his testimony, he, Daniel, on several occasions referred to Mr. Collins as his uncle. The court reporter mentioned that the deponent, Daniel Markham, "was aged 25 years or thereabouts," which is consistent with the christening records of Earls Colne, which would put him at the age of 27 at this time. (Ref: Court records of Middlesex County, MA)

By his own words, as recorded in the MA Court records, Daniel Markham identified his uncle Edward Collins. From England, Daniel Collins, in his will, identified his cousin Markham (referring to James Markham and his wife Martha Collins) as his relative, Edward Collins, in New England. And, in Earls Colne, Essex, there is a documentation of the marriage of James Markham and Martha Collins, who had a son, Daniel, born in 1641.

More About These Family Connections

Captain Thomas Abbe, son of Thomas Abbe, Sr. and Mary Pease, married in Enfield, June 22, 1749, Penelope Terry, born in Enfield, February 5, 1729-30; died there December 5 1817.

Penelope Terry was the daughter of Dr. (or Captain) Ebenezer and Mary (Helms) Terry.

Children, born in Enfield Abigail Abbey, b. May 13, 1750; d. June 22, 1844. Resided in the east part of Enfield, CT. Married in Enfield, Nov. 1, 1770, Eliphalet Collins, b. in Enfield, July 11, 1744; d. May 22, 1815, son of Nathaniel and Abigail (Pease) Collins.

Taken from the book, Abbe history: And then a murmuring of bees Broke in upon the house of prayer; And then a wind-song swept the trees, And then a snarl from wolfish lair; And then a charge of grenadiers, And then a flight of drum-beat cheers. So drum and doctrine rudely blent, The casements rattled strange accord; No mortal knew what either meant; "Twas double-grad and Holy Word, Thus saith the drum and thus the Lord. The captain raised so wild a rout He drummed the congregation out. The people gathered round amazed; The soldier bared his head and spoke, And every sentence burned and blazed, As trenchant as a sabre stroke: "Tis time to pick the flint to day, To sling the knapsack, and away! "The green of Lexington is red With British redcoats, brothers' blood! In rightful cause the earliest dead Are always best beloved of God. Mark time! Now let the march begin! All bound for Boston fall right in " Then rub-a-dub the drum jarred on, The throbbing role of battle beat; "Fall in, my men!" and one by one They rhymed the tune with heart and feet, And so they made a Sabbath march To glory 'neath the elm-tree arch. The Continental line unwound Along the Church-yard's breathless sod, And holier grew the hallowed ground Where Virtue slept and Valor trod, Two hundred strong that April day They rallied out and marched away. Brigaded there at Bunker Hill, Their names are writ on glories page. The brave old captain's Sunday drill Has drummed its way across the age.

The church around which Captain Abbey beat the long roll was completed in the January preceding, and stood near the present church. It was used as a church for the town until 1849, when it was bought by the town and moved to the west side of the street, where it now stands and has been used as a town hall ever since. A memorial to Captain Abbey and others of the family is about to be erected by Mr. Alden Freeman with his mother and sisters.

The Abbey Memorial will be on the Green in Enfield, on the site of the church out of which Captain Abbey drummed the congregation at the Lexington Alarm. The actual site of the old church is just in front of the present edifice. The design calls for a marble statue on a pedestal surrounded by four marble seats in the Greek style. On the backs of these seats are inscriptions commemorating the achievements of some of the best known descendants of the Abbey family, in the fields of war, literature and science. The sculptor, Sherry E. Fry, used as a model for the face and figure for the statue of Captain Abbey, a daguerreotype of his grandson, Seth Alden Abbey, taken at the same age.

Daniel C. French, sculptor of the "Minute Men" unveiled at Concord Bridge in 1875, has taken great interest in the work of Mr. Fry, and loaned him the simple Colonial suit used for the presentation of Captain Abbey.

The following is an extract from a letter written by Seth Alden Abbey to his son, Henry G. Abbey, dated June 15, 1872, telling something of Thomas Abbey: When a small boy, I was frequently at his house for a week at a time and have heard him tell many a thrilling tale of his hairbreadth escapes, hardships, sufferings, etc. During the French War he received a commission as Ensign in the Colonial troops and saw considerable service against the French and Indians. At the breaking out of the Revolution, a volunteer company was formed in his neighborhood and he was elected their captain and they were soon ordered to join Colonel Willett's Regiment in New York. I have heard him say, frequently, that he had chances of promotion, often, but his men would not consent to his leaving them. When a boy I saw many of his old soldiers who had served during the war; and the neighbors were as particular in addressing any of them, in giving them their title, as Corporal such a one, or Sergeant such a one, as they would be in addressing a General. Thomas Abbey died in 1811, and was as anxious for a fight with old England, which was then much talked of, just before his death, as in his younger days. He died suddenly with apoplexy.
